Its called a tax write-off, not an act of compassion.

There’s no outcome where you end up with more money by donating $2 billion of shares instead of simply selling those shares and paying taxes on the gains.

Except when you donate it to a non-profit that you run yourself and steal the money from there. See also: the previous US president.

Most tax donations writeoffs are worth 50% towards your taxed income. If you also 'lose' money in that fiscal year you also can write that off. Combine those two together and its a recipe to dodge taxation.
